Forgotten Halls Afk Macro Gets New Expedition

occasionally, its good to actually go level legit. im sure some do, but i KNOW some dont. bards are pullers. go group and learn to pull. i cant stand people who dont know their class cuz they afked the entire 70 levels.
 
Well I dont want to play my bard, I just want him to PL my other chracter ( I had a Cleric lvl 63 ) so even if I PL my lvl 37 cleric up to 50 using my bard, I will know how to play my class.

But I understand your concern, because someone that get PL all the way up to 50+ is dangerous for his group, because he never learn how to play is class, its the same thing that happend with those that buy chracter form ebay, specially Enchanter, you NEED to lvl it yourself else, you wont be able to do your job in group...
 
Sor some reason this isn't working very well for me. I keep getting beat down by the rat and I only drop him to about 75% before I warp to heal. The rat regens better than some of the god mobs in pop :mad: I'm I doing something wrong? I have the updated code etc etc :confused: Lmk
 
Tell us more about your setup, what song do you twist and what level are you.

It work really well for me, I gain a average of 3 level per day, could be more, but often I lose my internet connection so for several hours the macro is not running and I die when I lose internet connection...

So if ti work for me and lot of others person, it should work for you. The rats I hunt rarely regen fast enough, I kill them easly, the only thing you need is a good drum, I have nothing else good in my equipement, but perform pretty well.

Bard now lvl 45 ( 4 days played ) , not that fast, but for AFK xp sound really good, I should be able to PL my main really soon to get AA when AFK then forget about this bard ;)
 
My vard is Lvl 40. He has decent gear. He has 2600hps with temp. I'm just usuing a hand drum with a modifier of 18 on it....But all my other gear is ok. I have selos in slot 1, then brusco, tuyen, and fifil and heal in slot 7. I've noticed that i'm sort of lagging which is weird cause I have 640 mem :confused: But it's the same over and over again. rat regens fast and I regen slow making him 100% every time i come back...
 
Frist you dont have a good drum, try to buy a better one , minimum should be 2.4 modifier ( sell for lewss than 1K ) , if you can't afford a Thunderous Drum ( 6K )

Then you need to change the way you twist your song to :

1 - Selo's Accelerando
2 - Tuyen Chant of Flame
3 - Fufil's Curtailing Chant
4 - Amplification
5 - Hymn of Restoration
6 - Brusco's Boastful Bellow

then twist your song something like this :

/twist 1 2 3 1 4 2 2

it work really good for me, lvl 40-45 in only few hours, never die

then at level 42 you can add Tuyen's Chant of Disease

1 - Selo's Accelerando
2 - Fufil's Curtailing Chant
3 - Tuyen Chant of Flame
4 - Tuyen's Chant of Disease
6 - Brusco's Boastful Bellow

/twist 1 2 3 4

or if you want to be safe ( because you will sometime lose Selo with this twist ) do this :

/twist 1 2 3 1 4 6

then at level 46 just change Brusco's Boastful Bellow for Tuyen's Chant of Frost and you will be performing really fine...
 
Sweet thxs. will try this. Will this stop me from getting beat on? I guess I must go farm on my bsty hehe. Thanks again and Lmk
 
I rarely get hit , and when I does, this call a loop that regen me up to full ,then twist back my dot#nuke song, so I never die, if my regen is not fast enough I warp to a safe spot and regen, then come back. I maybe have to do this every 50-100 kill... so just use a good percussion item and everything should be fine, now lvl 50 and still groing, with the new selo song, it help a lot to do more damage !
 
Ok, have trained Rubonya (female vahshir, xegony, total SLR) 6 times in the last week with the bears, and watched them die, with much satisfaction...

Come on, I know people who cheat are lazy, but the code is in the first damn post. Log yourself out when you are done. Dont be a complete retard about what you do. Dont ruin it for the rest of us.
 
yupe, leaving your char there is like asking for a nerf soon as possable. You get all those people riled up who are hard core anti cheaters and they cry till its nerfed because of the pile up of people right there at the zone in/out. Quickest way to say 'Watch me and BAN ME' as well. As some have said, there are people that sit out there petitioning random people and the GM's do look into it. Didnt think anything of it at the time, reading some posts about it made me wish i had gotten their names, lv70 toons in mid lv guilds...
 
First, thank you all for all the work on this. It is truly an amazing little macro.

I'm very new, but i'm very cautious.. I'm careful and I use my head.. That said, I have a bit of a problem.

I have it working beautifully, with only a few minor tweaks. I have this thread to thank. I think i read the entire thread twice before even attempting this. some of it more than that. ;)

But, with my bard at level 15 and the nerfs to the RANGE of the damage songs, well.. I'm not doing any damage with Chords of Dissonance. Sure, I have pages of "a whatever rat winces", but it never does any damage unless for some reason the rats get close enough to smack me, and then if it was timed right, damage is done.

So.. onto my questions regarding this little problem.. :)

1. Would it be possible to make the circle small enough to keep me in range of the rats in order to do damage with Chords of Dissonance, yet keep myself from being smacked silly all the time from the rats? If so, how do I do this? (what do i change the circle to and where)

2. Does this problem go away at 18 when I can use Denon's Disruptive Discord? Or will this have the same nerfed range and the same problem?


Any assistance and / or insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

This had me laughing so hard, and at the same time giving a huge thumbs up. I'm very new, but i'm not stupid. Anyway, right on, and I too hope that they read this thread. :)
 
Your first question, I would suggest just experiment a little, try different things out.

2nd, I really can't answer that cause I really don't know.

ALL offensive bard songs got their effective range nerfed by removing the effect our AAs have on it. But that's not all they did, some bards were still able to use the AE damage songs to kite with, and Sony put a stop to that by making it so our AE songs do "ZERO" damage if the mob is moving. That's a major double whammy for us.

So the answer to this question would be yes, you could get close enough to make your AE songs land, but because of the nerf, it would not do you any good.

And the answer to this one is no. The problem will not go away at any level of AE damage songs for you. I have considered trying to do something to get Sony to change it back, so the range on our AE songs can be extended by our AA abilities again, since their 2nd nerf was so effective.

Basically, they took an entire line of songs and made them nearly wothless, and didn't replace them with anything at all... let alone something useful.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. :(
 
The first error you made is because FH is not supposed to work with AoE Song, at low level you will twist Nuke, than DoT when you got them.

Now you dont get better song for this, so you will have to invest in few AAs, that's what I just start today. If you follow these tips you should go from 12-51 in about 110 hours, that's seem a lot, but I have die lot and lot of time due to miss of internet connection, not because I was getting hit. And for AFK xp not that bad.

One last thing, buy a drum , use your cash for this, try to affor the best you can.

- Selo's Drums of the March (500-1000 PP) , Modifier 2.4
- Thunderous Drum of Karana (5500-7000 PP) , Modifier 2.8

At first I thougth, well 0.4 modifier of difference wont do a lot, I was wrong, if I had buy this drum first and not at level 45 I will have level really much faster. So try your best to acquire de Thunderous drum it really worth the money !
 
Seem that from lvl 51 and over it take forever to gain xp, mob have around 6K hp and our dot do only 72 dmg x4 (288 dmg/tick) , its long to kill them, maybe should I go to Vex Thal now ? At what level should I begin to go there, any requirement of AA , lvl , keys , flag ?
 
Vxed is a 62+ zone. They quad for about 1200+ in there and fast hehe. Anyway I would like to say that this is a wonderful macro. It's very awsome. I bought a thunderous drum today and all I can say is that was well worth the 1700p I paid for it :D That drum make a whole lot of difference. Thanks for the advice. I was wondering if this was also made for Vxed? If so point me in the direction plse cause I know the aaexp there is sick! :cool:
 
Seem Thunderous drum sell for a lot less on your server than mine... guest I will wait for lvl 65 to go Vxed
 
Thank you everyone for the replies.. I was way off base. I guess I got all excited when 12 rats were running around behind me and I thought I could get them all to take damage. :)

Thanks Meave. That helps a lot and now I understand how this works. One at a time makes much more sense with the current state of the songs. Thanks also for the "by level" guide you wrote up there. I am very anxious to try this as intended now.

I plan on levelling straight up when i'm at the PC, and using the macro when i'm still home but have to take care of other things. I really think it will be a long time (if ever) that I feel comfortable enough to leave it while I'm gone, but that's ok. Being able to get the XP while doing other things will be awesome.

Anyway, thanks again. Can't tell you how much this helps. I feel like a moron on one hand, but i'm giving the /bird to SOE with the other. Happy circling to everyone. :)
 
Hehe redguids has saved my relationship with my gurl. I love the fact that I can leave the comp and lvl and stuff without being there. Oh and let me tell you, those 3 dots make up for some very fast exp. That is the ultimate setup. Can't wait to get Ice along with the rest. I hit for 61,61, 41 a tic. Makes them die fast hehe. THanks again for this awsome mac. ALso do you have a mac like this for Vxed? If so plsee let me know hehe.
 
EDIT:

Nevermind :o

I may not be the brightest crayon in the box, but the ol' lightbulb comes on eventually. :rolleyes:

But I would like to know if there is some code that can detect the /con of the mob that's targetted. Whether it's dark blue, light blue, yellow, etc. Is this possible? Thanks all.
 
Last edited:
I'm at work so I can't test this but when you /con a mob it gives you a text string with the con response. So just set up an event that triggers on that con response.
 
Or better yet, determine what the level difference is to make a mob a certain con color depending on your level...then set the macro to check that difference whether you're level 5 or lvl 70.
 
Lvl 50-70

1. Selo's Accelerating Chorus
2. Tuyen's Chant of Flame
3. Tuyen's Chant of Disease
4. Tuyen's Chant of Frost
5. Tuyen's Chant of Poison

Now you dont get better song for this

Um yeah you do. And besides fire they're all easy to get.
 
Then can you tell me what song work better after lvl 50 ?

I have check few website and dont find any Nuke or DoT sont after lvl 50... maybe im blind...
 
61 - Tuyen's Chant of the Plague
63 - " Chant of Venom
63 - " Chant of Ice
65 - " Chant of Flame
66 - Vulka's Chant of Disease
67 - " Chant of Frost
68 - " Chant of Posion
70 - " Chant of Flame

...

Really don't know how you could've missed those unless the site you looked at was pre-pop lol.
 
I confirm I was blind at this time lol

Just check again and I see a lot of them, weird...
 
Ok I've been reading around and I was wondering if you can get the ban stick for using this macro because of the warping it does? I've been using this macro non stop for 2 days and my character is now lvl 52 from 40. I love this macro with a passion, but I don't wanna get the account banned. Lmk.
 
IMHO your playing with fire when you use this macro.

I saw someone warp onto the DZ giver on the docks when I was running to get mine last night.

There was a toon sitting in the docks who watched him, stood up and started asking the guy questions in say. Like How'd you do that. He ended up petitioning him he said in say.

Now...there is nothing right now that pisses me off more than 10 AFk'ers from the same guild standing outside FH zone every 6 hrs, or people that think warping in an OPEN zone while AFK is ok.

You guys are going to ruin this for all of us who use it simply to catch up to our friends, rather than abuse and exploit it.

Rule

#1 Be smart
#2 Don't be Greedy.
 
Yeah im trying to find a way to imporved the macro to run to the npc instead of wraping im sure it can be done, something akin to sticking on your target and follow it to kill it...

That way no more Warping, that's what is starting to make me think I should stop using the macro for a couple of days/weeks...
 
I tried using the /stick command and do a macro that ran to the NPC and then back... wouldn't work too well, so I gave up.

No problem with having to log back in every 6 hrs and restart it.
 
What was the problem with stick ? object and things like that ?

Yeah restart every 6h is not that much of a problem...
 
Stick just plain old didn't work.

Had newest source for MQ2moveutils and compiled it and it wouldn't work. So. I dunno.

Wasn't going to go through all the cordinates needed for the macro if stick didn't even work.

As it stands now, My macro isn't running for ABOUT 4 hrs a day.

I'm ok with that. And I wish everyone else was. It would keep the fuzz off our back.
 
Well the only warping the macro does is to get the exp, and to leave the exp when you lvl. So i'm guessing this is a bad idea to use this mac? And how am I being greedy? I'm at home the whole time the mac is running. I may leave and go to the store or something but I never leave for days at a time or anything while the mac is running just don't watch it 24/7.
 
This macro warps openly in a NON-instanced zone.

It warps TO the NPC, and back to the DZ entrance.

Not smart IMHO.

*edit* this is simply my opinion. I am a very paranoid person. It could be that the GM's could give a fuck less. I dunno.

I know I won't be doing it though.
 
I see. So basically we''re talking about player detection? Well if thats the case then ok. On my server nedaria is always empty except for the players going to natimbi.
 
I've got pathing code to run you to Eldridge and back instead of using warping. When I get home tonight I'll post it.
